What were you trying to do?
Execute the United States version of Netscape 3.01
What's wrong:
The /mit/infoagents/arch/share/bin/usnetscape script needs to be
updated (is it deprecated now?). It tries to access the authbin
directory by looking in
/mit/infoagents/arch/${ATHENA_SYS}/authbin
However, the directory structure seems to have been recently updated
so as to no longer include an "authbin" directory, but instead have an
"MIT-only" directory.
The absence of the authbin directory causes the usnetscape script to
think that it is failing to access the directory because the user does
not have sufficient privileges, and it thus complains that the user
needs authentication and should type "renew" regardless, of whether or
not the user is actually authenticated.
A patch is included below.
